FUNDRAISER:  A portion of this month’s entrance fee to the milonga will be donated to the Arthritis Foundation.  Think there’s nothing you can do about arthritis?  Great news!  You can act right now. Some of the ideas here are simple, one-time actions. Others are first steps toward longer-term goals. All can directly or indirectly improve your health, outlook or pain level, and can generally make life with arthritis a little easier. For example—Get moving

Exercise and dance helps lessen pain, increases range of movement, reduces fatigue and helps you feel better overall.  Your doctor, a physical therapist, or other specially trained health professionals can show you range-of-motion exercises and strengthening exercises that are good for arthritis.  The Arthritis Foundation also offers water exercise and other classes.  Contact your local office for details.

SOUTH JERSEY BALLROOM

To everyone who attended the South Jersey Ball last September 26, 2009 at Taj Mahal Casino, I would like to say “Thank You” and keep supporting SJBD.  Hoping you all enjoyed the party, especially the dance showcase.  They are incredible, talented and earned numerous awards and recognition, and compete all over U.S.  They are Vlad Kvartin & Maria Ilen, Cole Mills & Alissa.  Yes, they are teens 14 & 15 years old, but danced more than a pro.  They study with Maxims (Dancing with the Stars) and coach by Mr. Spencer Nymchick.

Again thank you and see you again in May 2010.

Perla
